Controversial Muslim leader Asaduddin Owaisi has dared the NDA government to bring an ordinance to felicitate the construction of the Ram Mandir at Ayodhya after the Supreme Court adjourned the matter until January 2019.

While Owaisi’s dare was quite clearly made with the intention of taunting the Bharatiya Janata Party, genuine calls for an ordinance on the matter or a law is gaining momentum across the country.

The Vishwa Hindu Parishad too has expressed its frustration with the continuous delays in the matter by the Court and has asserted that the judicial route does not remain an appropriate option any longer. It has demanded a law be enacted in the Winter Session of the Parliament so that construction of the Temple at Ram Janambhoomi could soon begin.

Across social media as well, calls for Parliamentary intervention have been gaining momentum.

The ball is certainly in the Bharatiya Janata Party’s court now. With Lok Sabha elections next year, Ram Mandir appears all set to take centre stage once more.
